Postdoctoral Position in Plant Evolutionary Genomics and Pangenomics

The Yant Lab at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in plant evolutionary genomics. The successful candidate will work on a project funded by a Formas grant aimed at restoring European ash populations threatened by ash dieback. This role involves developing a pangenome for European ash, integrating genomic data to study disease resistance and adaptation. Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant field and experience in population genomics, evolutionary genomics, and programming. Excellent English skills are required. The position is temporary for 24 months, starting November 1, 2026, with applications due by August 31, 2026.
